“As I walked up to the scene, I noticed a white male subject on his back beside a tree with a little blood coming out of his mouth and blood on the top of his right foot,” Carville wrote in his report.

Carville said the man who made the call, John Thomas Liverman, told him that all he knew was the shooter’s name was “Mike.”

Liverman also told the deputy that “Mike stated the victim…had killed his mother in a vehicle accident several years prior to today.”

While Carville was interviewing Liverman, he says Terry Alexander Scott walked up to the scene and said he had given the victim a ride to the river. He then told the deputy that the victim had had two beers “and maybe two shots of liquor.”

Carville said he noticed that Scott’s speech was slurred and saw two beer cans by his feet, but no liquor bottles.

Scott was flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte and later released.

Witnessess told deputies that Allen may still have the gun he used to shoot Scott.

Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen Jr. said deputies were going to Richmond County to interview Scott and search for Allen around 2 p.m. Friday.

As of 6:30 p.m., Allen had not been booked.

He is facing charges of causing a disturbance, assault with a deadly weapon and simple assault.

Allen has an extensive criminal record with a history of assault, according to N.C. Department of Public Safety records. Among other crimes, Allen has had four convictions of assault on a female, three convictions of assault inflicting serious injury and one conviction of assault with a deadly weapon.

Records show Scott also has a lengthy criminal history, spending nearly 12 years behind bars.

His most recent conviction was for robbery with a dangerous weapon in 1999. Scott was also convicted of death by vehicle in 1992.
